i didn't like it at first, too, as it seemed too jarring...but it grew on me. likely because i thought the actors/actresses…
Lol fair enough. I've watched a lot of dramas with questionable editing and directing but was still able to enjoy them. I'm still watching this, it was just one aspect that annoyed me. I like the actors and the story seems interesting so far
Zoomed close-ups can be incredibly powerful, especially when used with actors who have expressive faces and can…
The zoomed closeups are an old cheap trick used in film for decades. It's an overused technique used in cdramas in particular. It's not as deep as you guys are trying to make it out to be. It's obnoxious and jarring.
The director's choice was to emulate a manhua and a play. If you look at the closeups like the frames in a manhua,…
I really don't care about all of that reasoning. When the general audience is viewing the drama, with these stylistic choices, it comes off as cheap, amateurish, and dated. Cdramas have done this style of editing for decades. It needs to be done away with. There are ways to accomplish their artistic goals without it looking ridiculous
I'm liking it but why is the editing so stupid sometimes? Like they put so much effort into this beautiful cinematography and then do dumbass dramatic zoomed closeups. Cdramas have come so far over the years and then they pull bullshit like that
"Seduced a married man," are we in the 50s?? If it's true the majority of the responsibility falls on the dude. She didn't "seduce" anyone. She could be a cheater along with him, but let's place the blame where it really lies
He was accused of rape of a minor, filming and sharing it. He was sentenced for the filming and sharing but the…
Idk where you got that info but the article I read said everything that I put in my first comment.
Sidenote: I really don't like the language you're using honestly. Repeatedly calling the child victim his "ex-boyfriend" really undermines how serious the situation is.
It's cuz you're watching it in 2024 after having seen other xianxias. This was the first of its kind, the blueprint…
For sure! I like other xianxia dramas more than this one now but this was the first one I ever watched. It was special and different than anything else at the time. It was such a sensation and to just call it trash and compare it to stuff that's come after is crazy. Without this drama the whole trajectory of xianxia dramas would be different.
aunt? come on, she looks 10 year olds older I guess, but not like his aunt... and sorry, but visuals are definitely…
It's not giving ageism. It's giving compatibility. Honestly girl, we never agree. Please keep it moving
Edit: And I also didn't say that visuals are the most important thing overall. But when it comes to age gaps, they definitely matter. Ariel Lin paired with Zhang Binbin didn't phase anyone because they're visually compatible and the age gap wasn't noticeable so you could just focus on them and their chemistry. Then you have the Goblin couple who looked weird as hell together because he literally looked like her uncle.
While yeah, younger people are getting super weird about any age gap at all, this age gap is a bit much. They look weird together. That's my big thing in dramas, is if the visuals just don't match up. She looks like his aunt. They're both fully adults and I don't think it's gross, but it's jarring.
My heart literally feels heavy after watching Lost You Forever. There was so much debate over the boys but man Yang Zi was the heart of the show through and through. My heart aches after finishing season 2, Xiao Yao's journey was magnificent and it's all thanks to our girlie here <3
Thank you! For telling Yang Zi to stick with idol dramas. BackChina recently published an article:"Zhao Liying's…
Yeah ok Yarya. Thanks for making it very obvious who you are so I can quickly block you. This person despises ZLY and is trying to make her look bad by coming to other actresses' pages and tearing them down.
